I was trying to figure out what was going wrong here, the camber doesn’t look that extreme. Is the road subject to wetting where the rest of the roads are dry?
So the ICE car has a very large tunnel between the driver and passenger that is basically empty. (it would have been the transmission tunnel in a front mid-engine car like the C7). that becomes the battery space in the e-ray.
Tradition encoded into regulations.
I understand you have an axe to grind here - it’s still completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Unless you are claiming that “shoddy engineering, shoddy execution...” causes in flight turbulence.
Agreed, it’s just lazy and bad writing at this point. Need we point out that the same thing can happen on Airbus flights?
Okay, I did. What’s your point? This isn’t even a 737.
High performance - yes, I mean actual handling , not just a straight-line acceleration - so the hybrids we were giving as examples - the panamera, the Ferrari 296, the corvette eray, etc.
So I think you are misapplying “sweet spot”. No one wants a high performance PHEV with a 35EV battery. A regular way daily commuter car, sure, 35EV makes sense.
I hear you. Your point is specifically about the plug-in part of PHEV, right? I don’t think you are arguing that high-performance hybrid vehicles wouldn’t exist otherwise.
Good analysis.
Hot take, anything over 18" is too much.
I think you missed the part about the maggots, I do not think any of those delicacies involve live maggots.
I don’t know why they would have rotten fish - but based on my exposure to the TV shows from the US and UK that follow customs officers at the airports - trying to import rotten foods is a not uncommon practice.
The best part was some of the social media comments:
The race started two minutes late. TV time and official scoring time were the same, but apparently the race is defined as 24 hrs from 1:40PM to 1:40PM, not 24 hours from the start, which was at 1:42PM due to the need for an extra formation lap than planned.
This year, the clock struck 24 hours (1:40 pm EST) just before the cars crossed the line. Ergo, no need for an “extra lap.”
Your supposition: there’s enough of those owner-drivers out there indulging in GT(x) races—fronting their incredible cost—that they can make BT62s viable if the owner-drivers could just get to the inflection point of making Brabham a self-sustaining company.
So I’m reading “early morning” as probably being before dawn.
I’m 80% with you - I too don’t think the project was practical, but I’d have liked to see it succeed, just so we could get some more variety in the field - I’m so tired of watching 30 Porsches and then 1-2 other teams in what was GTD.
